SUMMER CAMPS 2006 (Click on any blue link for more information on a subject) Why Say Yes Agility Camps? We recognize that each year there is an ever increasing competition for your agility dollar. With so many summer training camp options available to you we encourage you to choose Say Yes Agility Camps and are confident you won’t be disappointed. What sets our camps apart from the rest is the fact that all of your instructors have been immersed in the Say Yes System of dog training and in Greg Derrett’s system of handling. What this means to you as a camper is that you will be given consistent training and handling advise over the four days here with us. No two dogs are exactly the same from breed to breed or with a breed. You and your dog may be facing unique challenges but a training and handling foundation built upon consistent fundamentals never changes; only the approach to suit the needs of the individual dog. Come out and see why so many people further their agility education in Alberton, Ontario. We thank you in advance for choosing to attend Say Yes Camps. We are excited to announce the training staff for our eighth annual Say Yes Dog Agility Summer camps. The 2006 camps are shaping up to be some of our best ever! Joining the team for our June (H.O. and more!) camp is one of the most successful agility competitors in North America. Terry Smorch of Lake Elmo, Minnesota has won 13 National Agility Championships. In 2005 Terry added the AAC Canadian Nationals to the long list of Championships he has won throughout his career. Terry and his Keeshond, Pixie, won 3 AKC Nationals in the 16” class and his Border Collie, Remy, has continued the winning tradition in USDAA (the Grand Prix and the Steeplechase) as well as the AKC Nationals multiple times. In 2003 Terry was a member of the Bronze Medal winning USA Team at the FCI World Championships in France. Joining Terry will be Say Yes regulars Mary Ellen Barry, Susan Garrett, Lynda Orton Hill, Alaina Axford Moore, Tracy Skelnar and the rest of the Say Yes Team. The July Camp (Everything to Everyone) will have Canadian World Team member Theresa Rector joining Susan, Mary Ellen. Lynda, Alaina, Tracy and the gang to help whip you all into shape. Theresa is no stranger to Say Yes campers having been an assistant or Camp Manager for the last 4 years. Theresa is well known for her talented Australian Kelpies and their amazing speed around an agility course. The unique format of Say Yes camps allows campers to work with each instructor every day to build upon the previous days successes. As a camper you will rotate through 3 sessions of handling, one of dog training and one of your own choosing (the Say Yes Power Hour*). The format of camp coupled with the fact all instructors have been trained with the Say Yes Foundation creates consistency in your learning environment. * The Say Yes Power Hour - is a progressive session where you will work in a small group to improve upon an area of your choosing (contacts, motivation, weaves, jump etc). With quality instruction and this type of extreme focus on the skill of your choice you are bound to show incredible improvement over the four days at camp. The entire Say Yes Staff thoroughly enjoys the challenge of providing a learning environment that is all that you expect and more. We hope to see you this summer at camp!
